Going the Distance

The PBS Going the Distance (GTD) degree program responds to the growing number of adults who are eager to earn college degrees but who require more flexibility than traditional on-campus courses allow. The program is an attractive alternative to adult learners because students can:

• schedule course work around jobs and family responsibilities
• work independently and at their own pace
• acquire new skills and knowledge to compete in the workplace
• improve their lives through enriched learning experiences
• complete course work toward college degrees

Launched in 1994, Going the Distance builds on the local partnerships between public television stations and colleges with support from the PBS Adult Learning Service and the Annenberg/CPB Project. Currently, over 69 public television stations in partnership with more than 200 participating colleges in 43 states offer Going the Distance degree programs locally.

The majority of college students are now 25-plus. GTD taps into this growing student population. Of the current workforce, 75 percent will need significant retraining at some time in their work lives. Half of the new jobs in the future will require postsecondary education or training. PBS's Going the Distance offers workers a way to get the training they need without disrupting their careers and families.
